i've always been pretty good with scary stuff, at least in media, but one thing that really upset me as a child was one scene in the Spawn animated tv series where a priest kills someone by dropping a grenade into their pants and i think just the absurdity and the fact that it happened to a completely random person going about their day was something my 7 year old brain wasn't ready to cope with lol. the only thing i can think of that's kind of gotten me in my adult years is one scene in Inland Empire with the demon with a horrifically distorted Laura Dern face. as for things i've read i don't have a ton of experience with horror books but there's a SA scene in Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin that really made me squirm.

that's a good idea, if anyone has any recommendations i'll gladly take them ❤️

i probably owe king a fair shake. i tried reading his stuff when i was a child and i've had a negative impression since lol.

just started Spoiled Rotten by Natalie Tautou because for some reason i need to be reading three books at once lol. looks like its gonna be some nasty horror short stories.

Trouble Is a Lonesome Town - Lee Hazlewood

the one's i remember reading in high school were: The Chrysalids (i hated it at the time but in retrospect it was probably fine?) Lord of the Flies (i did not read it) Of Mice and Men (can't actually remember if i read it or not) Oryx and Crake (i still love this one)

reading is admittedly a new hobby for me so hopefully this list changes in the upcoming months and years. A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing - Eimear McBride Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace Dayspring - Anthony Oliveira The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams Oryx & Crake - Margaret Atwood Rainbear!!!!!!!!! - Never Angeline North Warriors: A Dangerous Path - Erin Hunter Battle Royale - Koushun Takami Black Flame - Gretchen Felker-Martin Universal Harvester - John Darnielle
